The value of x is 84°.
Solution:
Measure of intercepted arc = 168°
Measure of angle x = ?
<u>Tangent-chord relationship:</u>
<em>If a tangent and a chord intersect at a point, then the measure of each angle formed is half of the measure of its intercepted arc.</em>
The value of x is 84°.
Answer:
AE = 18 units
Step-by-step explanation:
Δ AEB and Δ DEC are similar , then corresponding sides are in proportion, that is
=
, substitute values
=
( cross- multiply )
10(2x + 4) = 12(x + 8) ← distribute parenthesis on both sides
20x + 40 = 12x + 96 ( subtract 12x from both sides )
8x + 40 = 96 ( subtract 40 from both sides )
8x = 56 ( divide both sides by 8 )
x = 7
Then
AE = 2x + 4 = 2(7) + 4 = 14 + 4 = 18 units
